PowerPoint on Writing a Paragraph

iMovie

With a partner (I will assign you partners), open up iMovie. Pretend you are news anchors and just found out about two new inventions. Create a "news report" on iMovie about the inventions each of you researched. Make sure you save your work because we will be watching the news reports as a class!

Make sure you report:
-What is the invention
-Who invented it
- How it has affected the United States and the world
